Re-thinking the sidewalk shed
More than 6,000 sidewalk sheds flank New York City’s buildings and construction sites. They span more than 1,000,000 linear feet and typically remain in place for nearly a year. While these sheds protect pedestrians from construction debris and support other construction structures, they undermine the beauty of New York City’s architecture.
Here is your chance to re-invent this urban necessity. UrbanShed is an international design competition that challenges the global design community to rethink the current sidewalk shed standard and create a prototype worthy of today’s New York City. The competetition is sponsored by the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter and the New York City Buildings Department with a host of partnering organizations and city offices.
The competition is open to architects, engineers, designers, and students from around the world. Multidisciplinary teams and landscape architects are encouraged to participate.
